Multi-layered chalcogenides with potential for magnetism and superconductivity
Abstract
Layered thallium copper chalcogenides can form single, double, or triple layers of Cu–Ch separated by Tl sheets. Here we report on the preparation and properties of Tl-based materials of TlCu2Se2, TlCu4S3, TlCu4Se3 and TlCu6S4. Having no long-range magnetism for these materials is quite surprising considering the possibilities of inter- and intra-layer exchange interactions through Cu 3d, and we measure by magnetic susceptibility and confirm by neutron diffraction. First principles density-functional theory calculations for both the single-layer TlCu2Se2 (isostructural to the ‘122’ iron-based superconductors) and the double-layer TlCu4Se3 suggest a lack of Fermi-level spectral weight that is needed to drive a magnetic or superconducting instability. Furthermore, for multiple structural layers with Fe, there is much greater likelihood for magnetism and superconductivity.
